  1. Really good layouts throughout at the moment. 4 people from 2 houses can now meet up outside. Travel from all over Fife for daily exercise no rules broken. Hawke Vantage
  2. Had a fantastic day out at Cluny Clays today, and they had some tasty targets on show. We had some serious shooters out both Scottish and British team shooters. One target in particular was up there with the ultimate extreme on the FITASC layout set by a Scottish Champion. No-one had measured the target but for a a left to right crosser it was a challenge and providing much entertainment. It passed as a straight bird over a target marker post, and was shot from 5 hoops. All tricky in there own right. We had various guesstimates on the distance and many many breaks. The measured distance of the clay was 72 yards being destroyed with 28g of 8.5 shot or 7.5 shot. Choked at 1/2 and 1/4. Any pigeon would easily have been folded! Let the doubters start doubting!
  3. They did not get his keys to his cabinet, and no indication they targeted him for his guns, they took cash and his car too.
  4. Shot thousands of wild and reared ducks, and if reared correctly the vast majority of guns wouldn't know the difference when a pond is flushed.
  5. It appears that the steel version are heat sealed at the crimp, but the copper/lead do not have a sealed crimp. Humidity, moisture exposure or even in an open pocket/cartridge bag in the rain could have this result!
  6. A very good mate was found dead in his flat just before Christmas. I'd spoken to him 2 days before about being his referee for his impending coterminous renewal. He was 49 (same age as me) and had spent the last 15 years working in power stations around the country on refits, he worked every shift he could, bought a caravan to save on digs where he travelled. He lead a very solitary and basic lifestyle. His goal was to have enough money to retire before he was 50. He was set to start his last contract at the end of this month and be finished by April. His 50th Birthday was due to be July. He has literally worked himself to death as it was a silent heart attack that killed him. His ambition to travel the world shooting. He has no wife or children. Only a brother who has hardly lifted a finger in his life. We suspect he is about to become a very very rich man as I knew what he had set for his retirement goal!
  7. I always thought this was going to be a risk using a PVA type material that reacts with dampness. I understand they are supposed to be gas tight at the wad, so is it a chemical reaction or not as tight on the seal as they think?
  8. I have to say that is irresponsible. If your dog can get to it any non target animal can. But a tamper resistant bait station (around £3) peg it down in the the garden with the bait secured inside.
  9. Jct 38 is the go to in that area. Will catch up with you one day at Matty's!
  10. I put my Q7 in a couple of years ago to my local garage for a new headlight bulb. He phoned me up half an hour later and said the bulb itself is £135+vat. Couldn't believe it!
  11. Manthing do you not remember when we were told the virus could remain on hard surfaces for 72 hours. We went almost 4 months without wearing a mask everywhere we went! The cases were coming down. Once we were told to start wearing masks the cases started going back up? Because face coverings we are wearing are useless, but they are causing a concentration of the virus at the inhalation and exhalation point, and we are touching them all the time then touching everything with our hands.
  12. How is clay shooting or any outdoor shooting riskier than going into a supermarket? No-one sanitises the can of beans or packets that everyone touches to check the dates before putting back on the shelf! Transmission in the fresh air is very very low, so perfectly safe compared with lots of activities that are continuing!
  13. I don't have any of the D12 in stock, we don't use them that often. Plenty of D8 and D4.
  14. Doc do you not have any friends in the pest control business you could ask? If I was close by I would happily let you have them at trade price. Which I won't tell you what it is when you are buying 500 metres at a time.
